Captive Breeding: Genetic and Demographic ManagementDrPrincelinaBora
It is a presentation about the genetic and population management of captive stock of wild animals which can be eventually reintroduced into the wild. It covers basically the aspects of setting genetic and demographic goal before starting a captive stock and also measures to reduce adaptation to captive environment which is detrimental in the wild. At the end some success stories have been added basically for captive programs conducted in India. All the references from where the data have been taken are given with the file.
Due to Human intervention many animals are being endangered so we try to spread awareness among the viewers to protect these innocent species. Do view them and learn about them. We made it very precise and followed to the point approach.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Endangered Animal Species
A plant or animal species existing in such small numbers that it is in danger of becoming extinct, especially such
a species placed in jeopardy as a result of human activity. One of the principal factors in the endangerment or
extinction of a species is the destruction or pollution of its native habitat. Other factors include overhunting,
intentional extermination, and the accidental or intentional introduction of alien species that outcompete the native
species for environmental resources.
List of some endangered species across the world as follows:-
AFRICAN WILD DOG
African wild dogs are found in Sub-Saharan Africa (the part of Africa south of the Sahara Desert). African wild
dogs live in packs. They hunt at dawn and dusk, and chase prey such as Thomson’s gazelles.
Adaptaion
Wild Dog - Adaptations:Wild dogs have the endurance to run down prey (can maintain 48kph for up to 5
km). Hunting cooperatively increases their chances of success.They are adapted to dealing with heat stress while
running at high speeds for extended periods. The most important adaptation is the ability to learn. When they are
young they are taught the skills passed down generation to generation about how to survive in the wild. They need
every single one of these skills to survive in the wild. With new threats such as habitat loss starvation predators and
pollution.
Reason
The African wild dog is endangered due to habitat loss caused by human overpopulation, poaching,diseases like
rabies and threats from other predators such as lions and hyenas.If given the chance, lions will kill as many wild
dogs and their pups as possible in order to reduce competition.
Recovery
I describe the recovery of a wild dog population following natural recolonization of unprotected rangelands in
northern Kenya, characterizing key demographic variables such as mortality and fecundity. I explore the potential
impacts of people and competing predators on population recovery by comparing demographic parameters in 2 land -
use types with different human densities and hence differing densities of competing predators.I seek evidence of
component Allee effects by comparing demographic parameters with pack size and assess demographic Allee
effects by investigating these parameters at a range of population densities
TIGER
2. Project govind #9525621552 2
There are several subspecies (types)oftiger, and all are endangered. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous
kind of tiger, yet there are only around 2,500 living in the wild.It is hard to believe that one of the most
world’s most recognisable animals is included in a list of endangered animals.
Adoptaion
Adaptations.The tiger's striped coat helps them blend in well with the sunlight filtering through
the treetops to the jungle floor. The tiger's seamless camouflage to their surroundings is enhanced because
the striping also helps break up their body shape, making them difficult to detect for unsuspecting prey.
Habitate
the main threat to the survival of tigers is the loss of their natural habitats. Forests,grasslands and
swamps are being developed into cities, towns, farming regions and industrial areas. Tigers are solitary
animals and require space in which to hunt. ... However, tigers survive remarkably well in captivity.
Reason
The main reasons tigers are endangered—in most cases cases,critically endangered—are illegal hunting
for their pelts, meat and body parts (used in folk medicines) as well as habitat loss that results from logging
and otherforms of forest destruction.
Recovery
1. Protect tigers and their habitat.
2. Build capacity in range states.
3. Reduce human-tiger conflict.
4. Conduct scientific research on tigers to help inform conservation strategies.
5. Promote tiger-friendly policies.
6. Monitor tiger numbers, population trends,and threats to tigers and their habitats.
BLACK RIHNO
Black rhinos are critically endangered. They are found in Eastern and Central Africa. Despite their name, their
colour ranges from brown to grey. Black rhinos can run at 50 km/h. They are hunted for their horns.
Adoptaion and habitate
Special Adaptations.Thick, layered skinprotects rhinos from sharp grasses and thorns.Thick, padded soles on their
feet absorb shock and cushion legs. A prehensile upper lip helps in foraging and browsing. It can be found in various
3. Project govind #9525621552 3
habitats that have dense,woody vegetation. The white rhino lives in savannas, which have water holes, mud
wallows, shade trees,and the grasses they graze on.
Reson
West African black rhinos (Diceros bicornis longipes) were declared extinct in 2011, with the last one having been
sighted in 2006. Their initial population losseswere due to habitat loss and big game hunters that killed them for
sport.
Recovery
First, make sure the place you’d like to host yourrhino is ecologically suitable, meeting all climate, vegetation,
water, and other requirements. In addition, check that rhino have occurred here historically.
2. Make sure it is well protected,has anti-poaching units in place, and that the legislation of the country supports this
protection.
3. Put together a highly skilled rhino tracking and monitoring unit.
4. Obtain the support and cooperation of the government, provincial governments,Department of Wildlife and
Environment, National Parks, Game Reserves, Conservancies involved.
GALAPAGOS PENGUIN
Galápagos Penguins live on the Galápagos islands, and are the only penguin found north of the equator. They are the
second-smallest penguin: only the little penguin is smaller.
Adaptation and habitate
The Galapagos penguin has a number of uniqueadaptations that allow it to survive the high temperatures and
unpredictable food supply of theGalapagos (4). Foraging in the sea for small schooling fish during the day helps
them to avoid overheating (4).
The Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a penguin endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is the only
penguin that lives north of the equatorin the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the
Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current.
Reson
the Galapagos penguin is listed as anendangered species as like many species found around the islands, they are
endemic to the area and do not adapt well to sudden changes in their environment. Emperor penguins should be
classed as an endangered species because the majority of colonies will have lost half their populations by the end of
the century,biologists have warned. The flightless birds which inhabit Antarctica are threatened by changes to sea
ice which are being driving by climate change.

GIANT PANDA
Giant pandas are bears that live in the forests of China. They live on bamboo. There are only around 3,000 giant
pandas living in the wild today.
adoptation
It also has a sixth 'thumb' that allows the Giant Panda to grasp Bamboo better for eating. It also helps
the Panda pull the shoots and leaves off of Bamboo stems. The Pandas'thumb' is actually an extension of the wrist
bone. It is a very important adaptation for the Panda to be able to eat so much Bamboo. giant pandas are only
found in the remote,mountainous regions of central China, in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces,according to
the National Zoo. In this area, there are cool, wet bamboo forests that are perfect for the giant panda's
One the main reasons that panda populations have declined is habitat destruction.As the human population in
China continues to grow, pandas' habitat gets taken over by development, pushing them into smaller and less
livable areas. Habitat destruction also leads to food shortages

IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources ) RED LIST:-
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List orRed Data List), founded in 1964,
is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status ofbiological species.... These criteria
are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ provides
taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on plants,fungi and animals that have been globally
evaluated using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. This systemis designed to determine the relative risk of
extinction, and the main purpose of the IUCN Red List is to catalogue and highlight those plants and animals that
are facing a higher risk of global extinction (i.e. those listed as Critically
Endangered, Endangered and Vulnerable. Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine
groups,[15] specified through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and
degree of population and distribution fragmentation.
Extinct (EX) – No known individuals remaining
5. Project govind #9525621552 5
Extinct in the wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic
range
Critically endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild
Endangered (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild
Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild
Near threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future
Least concern (LC) – Lowest risk (Does not qualify for a more at-risk category; widespread and abundant taxa
are included in this category.)
Data deficient (DD) – Not enough data to make an assessment ofits risk of extinction

Wild Life sanctuary and Their security
Sanctuary is an area which is of adequate ecological, faunal, floral, Geo-morphological, natural or zoological
significance. The Sanctuary is declared for the purpose of protecting, propagating or developing wildlife or its
environment. Certain rights of people living inside the Sanctuary could be permitted.
A sanctuary is a protected area which is reserved for the conservation of only animal and human activities
like harvesting of timber, collecting minor forest products and private ownership rights are allowed as long as they
do not interfere with well-being of animals. Boundaries of sanctuaries are not well defined and controlled biotic
interference is permitted.

simplest “energy balance” models, which treat the Earth’s surface as a globally uniform layer whose temperature is
determined by a balance of incoming and outgoing radiation, to the fully three-dimensional global climate models
which solve for not only the global radiation balance, but also the physical equations of motion governing the
atmosphere, the ocean, and ice, and also solve for the exchanges of energy and momentum both within and between
the different components of the climate. In many cases,such models also include a dynamic representation of the
Earth’s biosphere and carbon cycle.
F. Earth’s climate history The Earth’s climate varies on a wide range of timescales. Over tens of millions of years,
geological processes such as plate tectonics have driven substantialchanges in the composition of the atmosphere,
impacting the levels of natural greenhouse gases.During the early Cretaceous period (roughly 100 million years
ago), for example, it is believed that carbon dioxide levels were several times higher than they are at present,and
global temperatures several degrees warmer than today, warm enough that the poles were ice-free. As long-term
geological processes slowly drove down greenhouse gas concentrations,the Earth’s climate entered the so-called
Pleistocene climate epoch approximately two million years ago. The Pleistocene was characterized by oscillations
between widespread glacial conditions (ice ages)and more moderate, relatively ice-free interglacial periods, driven
by natural, multi-millennial cycles in the geometry of the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
A. Surface warming The projected increase in global surface temperature from 2000 to 2100 ranges from roughly 1
to 6°C, depending on which of the emissions scenarios (discussed above)is assumed,and on the climate sensitivity
of the particular model used.6 The scenario that most closely corresponds to “business as usual” (i.e., in which there
are no significant departures over the next century from the historical pattern of increasing fossil fuel burning) is the
so-called A1B scenario,7 a mid-range scenario that would resultin more than a doubling of carbon dioxide levels,
raising these levels from their pre-industrial level of roughly 280 parts per million in the atmosphere by mass (ppm)
to about 700 ppm. Such an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations would,in turn, lead to a warming of between 2
and 4°C, depending on the model
C. Regional climate changes Precise projections of future regional climate change are hampered by uncertainties in
the details of how wind and ocean circulation patterns will change in response to human impacts on the climate. Of
particular relevance in this context is the potential for changes in the ENSO phenomenon. While current-generation
climate models perform reasonably well in reproducing El Nino–like behavior, they do not reproduce certain
important features of the phenomenon,such as the detailed pattern of trade winds in the equatorial Pacific. Because
the interaction between the trade winds and the ocean surface is an important component of El Nino, this means that
these features, and in particular how they might respond to anthropogenic impacts on climate, are uncertain
D. Ice melt and rising sea levels Among the most significant potential impacts of a warming climate are prospects
for significant melting of the polar ice caps, and the related phenomenon of rising global sea levels. Even if we
ceased fossil fuel burning today,the Earth’s surface would continue to warm for decades,and the deep ocean would
continue to warm for centuries due to the “committed warming” phenomenon referred to in Section III.A above. It is
predicted that a combination of the thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of mountain glaciers associated
with this warming will lead to between a third and a full meter of global sea-level rise by 2100 under the “business
as usual” emissions scenario.13 It is possible,however, that the sea-level rise could be considerably greater.
E. Tropical cyclones Climate change is likely to impact the characteristics of tropical cyclones (the strongest of
which are known as “hurricanes” in the Atlantic ocean). Warming tropical ocean temperatures associated with
global warming increase the maximum possible intensity,and thus the destructive potential, of tropical cyclones.In
the Atlantic, where long-term data are available, a close relationship is observed between warming ocean
temperaturesin recent decades and the increased powerfulness of hurricanes.15 Though there appears to be a
18. Project govind #9525621552 18
consensusthat warmer ocean surface temperatures will favor increased tropical cyclone intensities, there is less
agreement with regard to whether tropical cyclones will become less or more frequent in response to future climate
change.
IV. Impacts on Our Environment and Society The projected climate changes due to anthropogenic impact on the
Earth’s climate, as I have noted,include warmer surface temperatures, shifting patterns of rainfall, more widespread
drought,rising sea levels, and more extreme meteorological conditions including flooding and intense tropical
cyclones.These changes in climate are likely to have profound impacts on ecosystems,human health, water
resources,agriculture, and the basic infrastructure that supports modern civilization
A. Ecosystems Climate change is likely to influence the functioning of ecosystems and to impact biodiversity. Plants
and animals have established their currentgeographic ranges through long-term adaptation to seasonalclimate
patterns.Anthropogenic climate change is likely to alter those seasonalpatterns on a timescale far more rapid than
has occurred naturally over past millennia. It is this rapid rate of climate change which is likely to challenge the
natural adaptive capacity of living things.
B. Human health Human health will likely be detrimentally impacted by climate change in a number of different
ways, including through greater spread of infectious disease,increased incidence of environment-related health
afflictions (including heat stress),and more widespread malnutrition. Infectious disease is likely to become more
widespread as the geographical ranges and seasonalwindows of activity of disease vectors such as insects and
rodents widen with warmer temperatures.
D. Water resources Water resources are also likely to be substantially impacted by climate change.At current rates
of warming, by the middle of this century a 10 to 40 percent increase in average river runoff and water availability
has been projected in higher latitudes and in certain wet regions in the tropics, while decreases of similar magnitude
are expected in other parts of the tropics, and in the dry regions of the subtropics,particularly in summer.28 In many
cases,water availability is decreasing or expected to decrease in regions that are already stressed forwater
resources,such as the African Sahel, western North America, southern Africa, and western Australia
V. Evaluation of the Threat One of the challenges faced by society involves how to weigh the potential costs and
benefits of dealing with the climate-change threat. It is useful in this context to focus on three key kinds of
considerations.The first of these—and perhaps the more straightforward—are the economic considerations,which
weigh the potential financial costs ofadaptation and mitigation against the benefits of thwarting the various threats
to our environment and societal infrastructure associated with climate change
VI. Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate-Change Impacts As I discussed in the previous section, economic,
security, and ethical considerations all seem to point toward taking precautions to protect society and the
environment against the threats posed by major climate changes.
A. Adaptation As we have seen above (see Section III.A), even the most optimistic scenarios for the future path of
fossil fuel burning might still lead to dangerous climate change.It is thus arguable that society will be faced with
required adaptation in any plausible scenario. The problem with adaptation as a sole strategy is that,in most if not
19. Project govind #9525621552 19
all realistic future emissions scenarios, many of the predicted climate-change impacts are also likely to exceed the
capacity for humans (or ecosystems,for that matter) to adapt.
B. Mitigation: Reducing energy demand The simplest approach to decreasing global greenhouse emissions is to
decrease the demand for energy which drives these emissions. T
VII. Conclusions The Kyoto Protocol compelled the nations of the world to take whatever actions are required to
avoid breaching the threshold of “dangerous anthropogenic interference” with the Earth’s climate. Few would argue
with the logic of this imperative. As we have seen,however, it is a challenge to define just what is meant by
“dangerous anthropogenic interference,” let alone how close we might be to it, and what is necessary to avoid it.
Such uncertainty complicates the objective prescription of policy solutions for combating the problem of global
climate change.Indeed, uncertainty abounds for those looking to it as an excuse for inaction. Yet if anything,as we
have seen,uncertainty will likely work against us rather than for us,given the potential “tipping points” that may
accelerate future climate changes and their impacts. Uncertainty is not an excuse for inaction. Quite the contrary, as
I noted earlier, uncertainty places an even greater burden of proof upon those advocating inaction, given the
possibility it introduces for even more severe and irreversible harm to society and the environment than is currently
envisioned.
Unfortunately, no single approach to climate mitigation in isolation is sufficient to solve the
problem of global climate change,that is, to avert breaching the level of “dangerous anthropogenic interference”
with the Earth’s climate. A viable solution will have to involve strategies for adaptation to changes that are
inevitable, and mitigation of changes that can still be averted. It will require a concerted effort across nations,
governments, and all strata of society,and hard work and perhaps difficult choices among individuals, governments,
and industries.It will require the development and use of alternative energy sources,significant changes in lifestyle,
and dramatically altered incentive structures that reward environmentally responsible behavior by people, industries,
and governments.Anthropogenic climate change has been argued by some to constitute the greatest threat human
society has ever faced. At their worst, human civilizations under threat have succumbed to some of the worst of
human instincts,such as greed and short-sightedness.The collapse of Easter Island—wherein systematic
deforestation of the island by its human inhabitants undermined its sustainability for human occupation—provides a
compelling example.59 Yet at their best,civilizations have displayed a remarkable fortitude that has allowed them to
triumph in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. We must hope that modern human civilization will
follow the latter of these two very different possible paths as it confronts the daunting challenge of global climate
change in the decades ahead.
